So, today I'll give a review about an unpopular anime called Nurse Witch Komugi-chan R. As a fan of anime since 199x, I'm pretty aware of Komugi series. I'm also a fan of it's Magikarte arc which aired long time ago back in 200x. Now that Komugi is back on TV, I'm really looking forward to see how much Komugi-chan has changed and how the studio will bring back my favorite mahou shoujo to modern world.

Of course I was skeptical, since it's 2016 when moe-shit is a thing (I like moe-shit anyway), Komugi might be changed to a PWP - plot? What plot? anime that's full of fan service here and there.
And it was true. Komugi R turns Komugi series to a PWP anime, but it's not full of fan service, not even jiggling boobs was there. So if you're here for the fan service, you might wanna leave.

Story:
Komugi R told us about a pretty and genki little girl (14 years old) called Komugi that's living a life as a normal junior high school girl and an idol. She's pretty popular in her neighborhood, not only because his father is a renowned doctor there, but also because Komugi herself is really kind and helpful to everyone.
Komugi's wish is to be a famous idol and she's working hard for it. She also have two other close friend who's her classmate and her neighbor. Those other two are also idols but they're more popular than Komugi. Since Komugi is a ditz, she's not even jealous of her friend's popularity, she's rooting for them from the bottom of her heart.

| This plot sounds really boring, isn't it? |
One day, after having a walk with her friend, Komugi accidentally met a weird bunny that's talking. That bunny then asked Komugi to become a magical girl.
Sounds reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally typical.
Komugi then promised the weird bunny that she will be a magical girl in order to save the world from evil monsters just because she's that good. (Well, the bunny helps her before so it's kind of a payback).
So how will Komugi adapt to her new and not-so normal life? You can watch the first episode of Nurse Witch Komugi-chan R with HorribleSubs' sub right now!
What I Think:
It's... kind of... weird, bad, but also good. I have mixed and biased feeling for this anime. It's really bad and sometimes the seiyuu's voice sounds quiet annoying and half-hearted but on the other hand, I really enjoy seeing Komugi-chan back on TV. It's your usual magical girl anime but I'm sure that this one is targetted to U-15 rather than the other Komugi series that's targetted to above 15.
This anime is really safe, I told you.
Komugi R also have so many parodies on the first episode. From Milky Holmes to Yatterman, it's quiet fun to see. I will watch the next episode, but I hope the seiyuus got better next time.
As a comedy-not-comedy anime, Komugi R didn't deliver its comedy that well, but if you're fond of lame jokes, this anime might entertain you.
Extra:
The insert songs aren't so good, it's bad, even. It sounds cheap and annoying. But it's Komugi so I guess I'll like it somehow.
